Weapons were also seized from the suspect during the mission, CTD incharge Raja Umar Khattab notes.

The suspect reportedly filmed and sent videos of several Karachi sites including Mazar-e-Quaid last December to Afghanistan.
He also shared these videos on social media with a menacing message hinting at the existence of his group in Karachi.
